Developers Meeting on Weds, August 15, 2012

Agenda

Regular Items

• JIRA Reviews – starting with issue DS-1082
  • Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-1082)

• Forgoing the normal JIRA review to concentrate on 3.0 Release (for now)

Discussion Topics

1. 3.0 Release
   • Updated Release Schedule posted at: 3.0 Timeline and Processing
   • Continuing with the status review of proposed features? (started during last week's meeting )
   • How do we want to tackle code reviews of these features? Do we need to gather volunteers to review specific Pull Requests & report back?
   • It sounds like we may be suggesting some modules be deprecated and released as separate modules. Possibilities include: LNI, old-OAI (if replaced by XOAI)
2. Other topics?

Additional Ongoing Topics

1. Need to review Guidelines for Committing based on GitHub/Git?
   • Thoughts on how we rework these polices to our new GitHub development environment (with Pull Request policies, etc.)?
2. How can we "catch up" with JIRA Backlog?
   • Do we need to "split up" the tickets & do quick reviews on our own? Or perhaps just split up tickets & do a very quick ranking & schedule ones with patches for 3.0?
   • Perhaps we schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" event (via IRC or similar) where we work together to decrease the backlog over a few days or a week (think of this like a "Test-a-thon" but instead we'd be working to just clear out the backlog as best we can).
3. Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
   • Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
     • Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
     • Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
     • AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-994, DS-1006, DS-1007, DS-1088, and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
   • Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
     • Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
     • "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
     • Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
     • Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
     • Other Development Proposals
